Cheerp VS Tiny C Compiler

It's called https://leaningtech.com/cheerp/. Source: almost 2 years ago

It then creates an adapter function that calls the original and pass more (or less) arguments to it with default values, and returns that function address instead of the original bitcasted one. This is not a perfect solution, because in theory one can store the pointer and convert it to a different type later, but in the case of python C extensions this is sufficient to fix the issue (at least in my experiments),... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

For what it's worth you can implement a C compiler in under 10kLOC. The chibi C compiler is only a few thousand lines [1]. There is also Cake [2] and the tiny C compiler [3] which are both relatively small. [1] https://github.com/rui314/chibicc [3] https://bellard.org/tcc/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

I was going to say, the list should include something by Fabrice Bellard. Tiny C Compiler is one. https://bellard.org/tcc/ I was thinking, maybe first version/commit of QEMU would be interesting to read. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

I occasionally use tcc (https://bellard.org/tcc/) like an interpreter (`tcc -run`), it's convenient for certain odd tasks. Not so much for interactive stuff, but if I'm building little PoCs for an idea that will get dropped into a C project, or fiddling with structs work out how something should/is being stored, or in situations where I'm making stuff that interacts with or examples based on C code and I want to... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

This reminded me the idea of compilers bootstrapping (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35714194). That is, now you can code in SectorC some slightly more advanced version of C capable of compiling TCC (https://bellard.org/tcc/), and then with TCC you can go forward to GCC and so on. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

The tinyc compiler reads scripts like a c-interpreter, with shebang and all. Source: about 1 year ago
